Is It Time To Invest In An Autonomous Vehicle?
Collaborative Post¦ If you are thinking about purchasing a new vehicle this year, then you might already be considering whether you should shell out and invest in an autonomous car. Essentially, this is a car that drives itself without human input. However, while this description sounds exciting and it’s how these cars are being marketing, it’s not quite the reality. This has led to many people questioning whether it’s time to invest. There are several variables to consider here.
Five things to keep in mind with a new kitchen floor
Collaborative Post¦ When you’re planning on a kitchen remodeling there are many things to consider. The layout, work surface materials, cabinet doors, potentially getting new appliances and the overall colour choice of the room (to name just a few). One thing that you absolutely cannot overlook is flooring. It may not initially seem as important as those other areas, but the kind of flooring you choose for your kitchen is vital to ensuring the room functions as it should, and it can also have a significant impact on how easy your new kitchen is to live with.
With this in mind, this post is intended to highlight five things to keep in mind when choosing a new kitchen floor. Hopefully, this can help you if you’re in the process of redesigning and planning out your new kitchen!
How to create a playroom for your baby
Collaborative Post¦ A playroom should be a functional and creative space for you and your children. You can use this room for play, homework, toy storage and socialising with friends. The playroom should be safe for your children over everything else. A minimalist and edited approach can help you to keep your playroom safe, organised and tidy.
Keeping the space clutter-free and well-organized helps maintain a calm environment for both play and learning. Using furniture and décor that are easy to clean and built to last can make the playroom more practical over time. When searching for kids playroom ideas, you can focus on designs that can encourage creativity and can be adapted as your children grow.
Here are a few tips to bear in mind if you create a playroom for your baby this year.
Pandemic Ponderings: Ex Friends
I recently wrote about how the pandemic has had me thinking about things that have happened in my life a lot more. I think it’s partially down to the increase in time that my brain has available to ponder. However, I think it’s perhaps also my brain’s way of trying to compartmentalise and put things into perspective in these odd times. I’ll also be hitting the big 3-0 next year (eek!) so maybe that’s why I seem to be continually dissecting my youth. Anyway, other than my failed relationships, I’ve also been thinking about failed friendships. While looking back at my ex-boyfriends was quite funny in hindsight, looking at ex-friendships is actually rather sad. This weighs on my mind quite often, despite years passing. I’m hoping that getting it off of my chest will be quite cathartic for me.
Looking After Your Own Health As A Parent
Collaborative Post¦ On top of looking after your kids, it’s important to look after yourself. Being a parent can be physically and mentally challenging. This can take its toll on the mind and the body.
Get seriously ill and it could affect your ability to look after your kids. This is why it’s so important to look after your own health as well as your child’s. Below are just some of the ways in which you can look after your own health as a parent.
How to maintain good oral hygiene
Collaborative Post¦ Good oral hygiene is a must. Not only does it mean your mouth and teeth are clean, but it’s also ideal for the rest of your body too. After all, as you chew and swallow, heaps of bacteria are entering your body and this bacteria all needs to be processed. If hygiene is not kept up, this could develop into different illnesses and cause a lot of complications.
Another result of not keeping up with basic oral hygiene is that teeth can decay more quickly, resulting in pain and discomfort and a loss of confidence. You’ll soon find yourself needing emergency toothache relief or even needing teeth removed if you don’t practice good hygiene. Thankfully, this can easily be avoided by maintaining better oral health.
How lockdown and the pandemic has affected relationships
Collaborative Post¦ It’s odd to think that this time last year, we were just starting to realise that the Coronavirus pandemic wasn’t going to be over quickly. With many of us furloughed or working from home, we had been under the same roof as our partners for far longer than we had ever been before. I certainly never thought I’d spend such a huge amount of time with my husband until we were pensioners! Of course, this has gone on for far longer now and has affected people’s relationships in many ways. For some, it has strengthened bonds, while others have been tearing their hair out and even filed for divorce. Others have managed to find love in the Covid-19 pandemic, despite the odds being against them.
Secrets to a happy relationship
Collaborative Post¦ Sometimes, we see a couple and just know that they are destined to be together. They fit together like perfect puzzle pieces, and they make relationships look like a breeze. A perfect relationship is what many of us aspire to have; however, there’s no recipe for a perfect relationship, and sometimes, they can be hard work.
Unexpected things happen that can quickly strain a relationship and add unwanted pressures. Often, these pressures can be hard to manage, and relationships can break down. Thankfully, there are some ways to manage the hardships and get through them.
Pandemic Ponderings: My Ex-boyfriends
You know when you’re laying in bed and instead of deciding to just sleep, your brain decides to think about all sorts of things? Things you could have done differently, things you should have said, people you shouldn’t have given the time of day to? Well, the last year has kind of been like one whole session of that for me. I guess being on furlough due to the pandemic, being too pregnant to move and getting trapped underneath a sleeping baby has given me far more time to ponder than usual. One thing I’ve thought about why things didn’t go well with ex-boyfriends and I’d love to hear your stories too!
